Evidence first
Treatment grounded in clinical research and psychopharmacology, never guesswork.
A provider who listens first, then treats.
Michael Valalik is a Yale-trained psychiatric nurse practitioner who has spent more than a decade helping Connecticut adults feel steadier. His approach is unhurried, evidence-based, and built entirely around the person in front of him.
About Michael
Michael is a graduate of the Yale School of Nursing and has been in private practice since 2015.
He specializes in psychopharmacology for the treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. That means he thinks carefully about how medication fits into your life, when it helps, and when a different path serves you better. Medication is a tool, not the whole story.
Patients describe a provider who explains things plainly, answers questions without rushing, and treats the whole person rather than a checklist of symptoms. Sleep, habits, stress, and recovery all matter, and all get attention.
Michael sees adults at his Middletown office and offers telehealth across Connecticut.
